Carbon Fiber Project

Just wanted a place to show off some of my real carbon fiber projects that I'm playing with. I love this stuff. The 12k spread tow flat plain weave that I'm working with is tricky, but sure looks amazing when you get it right.

These are two teaser photos or my abs rear lip spoiler before applying the glossy resin coat, etc. Not perfect. I will continue to upload photos as I go along from project to project in hopes of breaking up the all to common, "My s***t is broken thread" around here. I will be investing in the equipment to vacuum bag and make molds, so by the end, there should be some nice eye candy to behold. As always, hope you enjoy.

This is cool. I like that its CF but not a traditional weave. I had an idea like this for the rear hatch spoiler.
